Zhou Huan: Brother Long, You're Insanely Awesome!

Clear skies.

A gentle breeze.

Barbecue.

By the stream.

It should have been a beautiful scene.

But then five utterly mood-killing people showed up.

Especially that lecherous middle-aged man. After hearing Zhou Huan and Long Aotian's conversation, he first froze, then burst into a vicious laugh, thinking it was the funniest joke he had ever heard in his life.

But the next second, the lecherous middle-aged man could no longer laugh. This was not the funniest "joke" he had heard in his life—it was the last "joke" he would ever hear.

The moment Long Aotian said the words "kill them," his imposing body stepped forward. A powerful Soul Ancestor aura instantly locked onto the lecherous middle-aged man, while four Soul Rings slowly rose from beneath Long Aotian's feet...

Yellow, purple, purple, black!

At that moment, it was not only the lecherous middle-aged man who froze, utterly unable to think. Even the other four behind him seemed to have turned into a still painting. They simply could not imagine that this youth was actually a Soul Ancestor!

And were those Soul Rings really something a normal person could possess?!

However, Long Aotian did not care what these people were thinking. From the moment that lecherous middle-aged man had verbally harassed Vina and tried to lay hands on her, they had already been dead.

His right arm began to twist and deform at tremendous speed, turning into a dark-gold longsword in less than a second!

While the lecherous middle-aged man was still stunned, Long Aotian, who had already been close to him, passed in front of him. At the same time, that dark-gold longsword passed across the lecherous middle-aged man's neck.

And so, his head separated from his body!

Blood gradually dyed the nearby stream red.

Zhou Huan silently remarked, "Still ended up polluting the environment."

He looked again at the terrified head, its eyes still wide open in death. Zhou Huan curled his lip, somewhat speechless. These brainless villains were weak enough already, yet they always loved jumping out to give others experience.

At this moment, the four people opposite them finally reacted!

Their companion had been killed! In less than two seconds, before he had even had time to summon his Martial Soul, he had been killed!

"You're courting death!!!"

The middle-aged man who looked like a pale-faced scholar roared. Four Soul Rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple—rose from beneath his feet, and then he abruptly... flew backward!

He ran?

He ran!!!

"Holy shit!"

This scene was enough to leave Zhou Huan Shocked for an entire year!

Even Long Aotian was slightly stunned. He had been ready to score a second kill, then a third, until he took every last head.

And this was it?!

At the same time, unsurprisingly, the other three had a remarkable tacit understanding with the pale-faced scholar. They swiftly summoned their Martial Souls and scattered in all directions.

However, it was obvious that those three were merely Soul Elders. Their escape speed was far inferior to that of the pale-faced scholar.

Long Aotian turned his head and looked helplessly at Zhou Huan and Vina. "I can't chase all four of them at once by myself!"

Zhou Huan spread his hands, indicating that he did not care.

Even though Long Aotian was a Soul Ancestor, he truly could not chase down one Soul Ancestor and three Soul Elders simultaneously. He was not an Agility Attack System Soul Master.

But in Zhou Huan's eyes, Long Aotian was already impressive enough.

With his skin Body Martial Soul, Long Aotian's move just now—turning his right arm into a longsword—was practically the Terminator reborn, wasn't it?

Honestly, even if that Soul Ancestor and the three Soul Elders had attacked together, they would not have been enough for Long Aotian to chop down.

Unfortunately, they had escaped too quickly.

It seemed that "brainless little bosses" were not entirely brainless after all!

The decisiveness and speed with which those people escaped could truly be called a beautiful sight.

Long Aotian sat back down without chasing after any of those who had fled.

At this point, Zhou Huan had no choice but to give him a thumbs-up and praise him. "Brother Long, those Soul Rings of yours, those soul skills... you're insanely awesome! I've seen little in this world, but this is the first time I've ever met such a fierce guy!"

Long Aotian laughed heartily. "Haha! Brother Zhou, you're too kind. Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning."

Fine, Zhou Huan had confirmed it. Even Long Aotian liked being flattered. The key was that he really was amazing!

However, the observant Vina spoke up at this moment. "Zhou Huan, how were you so sure that Aotian could defeat so many of them?"

Sigh, girls were just sensitive. They thought too much.

Look at Long Aotian. Brother Long did not have this kind of question.

Zhou Huan was somewhat helpless and could only answer, "I wasn't sure."

Vina fell silent, merely staring at Zhou Huan to show that she did not accept this explanation. She had clearly heard Zhou Huan tell Aotian to kill those people the moment he opened his mouth.

Having no choice, Zhou Huan said, "Even if Brother Long and I together couldn't beat those five people, didn't you have guards nearby?"

This time, Vina was rather Shocked. "Y-you could even detect the guards around us?"

How was that possible?

Her guards were all Soul Douluo-level powerhouses. How could Zhou Huan possibly have detected them?

Vina's first thought was that it was impossible, but when she saw Zhou Huan's certain expression, she had no choice but to believe him.

Even Long Aotian found it hard to believe. Since when had the Body Sect's experts become so incompetent?!

But Zhou Huan's next words left both of them even more speechless. "I didn't notice them before. Now I know."

Long Aotian: "..."

Vina seemed slightly angered. "Y-you tricked me?"

Someone as intelligent as her had actually been deceived?

Zhou Huan shrugged. "What trick? Don't storybooks all say that when young noble ladies and masters travel, how could they possibly not have guards secretly protecting them? Besides, you said earlier that you were traveling through this area. How could there be only the two of you? No remotely normal family would let its younger generation travel alone."

In truth, cases without guards did exist. It was just that Zhou Huan knew Vina and Long Aotian's true identities.

The identities of these two meant that they were different from those of other families. It was impossible for there not to be people secretly protecting them.

Yet to Vina and Long Aotian, Zhou Huan's words made perfect sense. They did not even have anything to refute,

because Zhou Huan was right.

Just then, a streak of light flashed past, followed by an Elder appearing before the three of them.

The Elder bowed to Vina and said, "Miss, they have all been dealt with."

Vina said nothing and merely nodded.

There was no need for her to give any orders over something like this. Naturally, someone would handle it for her.

Then the Elder continued, "According to their leader, that Soul Ancestor, they were Hunters and had just come out of the Snow Forest Sea. But there are almost no Soul Beasts left in the entire Snow Forest Sea, and the reason is unknown. Based on speculation, it should be related to the beast tide two months ago. Most of the Soul Beasts inside left."

When she heard the word Hunters, Vina could not help glancing once more at Zhou Huan.

Zhou Huan looked innocent. "Hey, hey, hey, not every Hunter is that kind of scum. Please don't question my character."

Vina did not speak. She truly could not quite understand what kind of person Zhou Huan was.

But the Elder looked toward Zhou Huan. "Young man, I think you would be well suited to joining our family. I can personally provide you with decent cultivation resources. What do you say? Are you interested in considering it?"

Naturally, the Elder was one of Vina's hidden guards. He had heard the conversation between Zhou Huan, the princess, and the others all along.

Setting aside Zhou Huan's talent and cultivation, his cleverness alone was enough. The imperial family did not only recruit people who could fight.

However, when Zhou Huan heard the Elder's invitation, he nearly rolled his eyes.

Join them?

What would he join them for?

To become a guard, or the princess's study companion?

Wouldn't that make him Dongfang Bubai?

No, that was not right. The Douluo Empire probably did not have eunuchs as a profession.

But regardless, Zhou Huan was clearly not interested. He could only say, "Senior, you think too highly of this junior. I'm used to freedom. I only want to travel more and see more while I'm young. Once I'm tired, finding a primary Soul Master Academy and becoming a teacher would be quite nice too. This junior once heard a remarkable man say that his happiest days were when he was a teacher earning only nine Gold Soul Coins a month. This junior would also like to experience that kind of happiness someday."

The Elder was somewhat surprised. "There is actually such a person? He must be a highly respected teacher. Such people live their lives in poverty and are worthy of admiration!"

Hearing this, Zhou Huan forcibly suppressed the twitching of his facial muscles and said, "Yes, I envy him greatly."

After that, they did not chat for much longer. Everyone had matters to attend to, and corpses were still lying beside them, so it was not suitable to remain there for long.

They were merely strangers who had shared a meal of not-so-fresh roasted meat.

Zhou Huan headed back toward Shrek, while Long Aotian and Vina naturally continued toward the Snow Forest Sea. Since they had come all this way, the two of them had to see it for themselves and investigate personally.
